-Anne Hathaway & James Franco. :::sigh::: you just didn't do it for me. Franco acted like he was too cool. Hathaway had to pull the slack. It was an ugly combo. Poor Anne. She seemed genuinely happy and excited to be there. Which begs the question---where was HE the whole night?!

After winning Valerie's giveaway from Langston's, I was excited to place my order for a pair of Ariat boots. I had a hard time choosing between the Caramel colored boot and the Weathered Brown boot. I went with the Weathered color and I'm so happy!

My beauties came in the mail (3 days after I ordered them. Talk about amazing and fast service!) and I'm already anticipating their first wear.

You have a strong hold on my heart and wallet. I go in for post-it notes and paper towels and come out $139 later. Behold the power of Target.

While wandering the aisles of Target the other day I happily walked past adorable Spring clothes and shoes. It made me eager for the 50 and 60 temps to start and work their way up to beautiful 70 degrees.

And now I present the items that made me stop in my tracks and wish I could wear them ASAP.

The mat was incredibly thick. I never felt uncomfortable while practicing.

I couldn't take pictures in the studio, so I set it up on my kitchen floor to show you, and it was even comfortable on the hardwood floor, so that IS something :)

Also, the mat is longer than a normal yoga mat which really helps when your tall and doing some of the traditional yoga poses and stretching and you're too long for a normal length mat. (or just laying on it because it's comfortable..uh, yeah)

Plus Kulae is a company that focuses on making the best product possible while remaining completely eco-friendly. They operate under the idea that Karma's Real. I couldn't agree more.

The mat is 100% biodegradable.

It's 72" long.

5mm thick.

And it was made with cell technology so NO bacteria or odor can enter the surface. Talk about a bonus for those of us that like hot yoga!

Even Ozzie thinks it's comfortable!

Definitely take a minute and head over to www.kulae.com and check out their products!

I was asked to review this Kulae mat but these opinions are 100% mine. I loved the product and look forward to checking out more of what Kulae has to offer.

I have to admit...when LUSH first popped up in a lot of the Macy's stores in Chicago I was not intrigued. In fact, I felt overwhelmed by all the fragrances. But every single person I spoke to raved about their fabulous products. I knew I had to take a leap and try them myself.

Fast forward two days later and I'm in Macy's smiling at the nicest LUSH employee ever. She's telling me about all the different kinds of bar shampoos, which ones are good for my hair, the tins you can buy, etc.

I chose to try the Godiva and Seanik shampoo bar. I can't believe it took me this long to find them--All that time wasted not using LUSH!

Please welcome the lovely Daniela from D, etc. Her posts are always full of great fashion tips and I read her blog daily :)

Hi Everyone! While E's away on vacation I offered to guest post for her :) Thanks E for the opportunity and enjoy your vacation!

Jessica Alba added a floral skirt, mega high platforms and sunglasses to play up this all black look. Most of us have the basics for this outfit already sitting in our closets - a black blazer, a pair of black opaque tights and a simple long sleeved black top.

Here are a few options for floral skirts, all under $30 (a few at half that!):

This outfit would also look great in flats, in case you're like me and couldn't last a second in shoes like hers, or in a pair of suede wedges. If you're a pro when it comes to platforms, they're listed below :)
